A member asked:

Is it possible to have a hernia under your ribs? loced around where i had my gallbladder removed? have pain and if i bend or twist something pops out

A doctor has provided 1 answer

R subcostal pain: It is extremely unlikely to have a hernia in that location. If the pain is in a scar it may mean nerve entrapment . other things need to be ruled out such as retained CD stone or shingles. More data is needed. Call for a consult.
